basbone: do you code in vb.net?

Yes I do. It's currently my default language. I also code with C# and Java on rare occasions. I used to also code with C++ and PL/SQL, but I've lost most of the syntax for PL/SQL.

You want to know why? Look at the thread below with details of US claiming ownership of Ebola and even registering a patent for it.

basbone: hi all, i believe a good programmer is one who increase his knowledge on what he knows on a particular language, but a better programmer is one who increase his knowledge on what he know about programming. i am about to follow the route of better programmers.....that is, learning a new language, so advice me on which new language to learn.....not old stuff like java, vb, csharp, php, etc. Secondly, do you think i should deprecate my Visual Basic.Net skills considering the fact most people dont use it again?
Please i need your advise. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure about what you mean by mentioning java, vb (if referring to .NET), csharp and php as old stuff. angry
And where do you get the idea that people don't use Visual Basic.Net again?

If you check most list of popular languages today, you will find that Visual Basic.Net would make most of top 10 or at least top 15.

I believe being a better programmer is more about your skills in problem solving not number of languages. If you can program in this many languages (instead of specializing) but can't solve serious problems, what would be the use? When considering a new language I think in the line of the strengths of the language and how many others are using it since you'll often find yourself needing to work in a team.

Aside from Swift, if you should choose languages like Rust or Avail, you may have the bragging rights for the only user of the language in Africa if that's what you want. You can also look up a comprehensive list of languages here; Maybe you can start learning them in alphabetical order as listed.

Best of luck. wink

Programming / Re: Russian Criminals Steal 1.2 Billion Passwords by uken73(m): 12:18pm On Aug 07, 2014
In the past I've received e-mails from friends advertising some products like weight loss. Some just had had some luring message to open a link (mostly short code links) and I suspected those mails were not from the e-mail owners. When I reached them on phone, they confirmed my fear. I suspect that most of those e-mail addresses are hijacked when unsuspecting users clicked links from mails they think are coming from their friends.

Don't follow links that you are not sure where they would lead you. When in doubt better confirm what to expect from the sender. They may not have been the ones who sent the link.

Capnd143: love your analysis, but like i said am self taught, never got a formal education on this stuffs, so pardon my ignorance. And i live in Akwa ibom state and unlike lagos, its quite hard to get your hands on this tools, even if i knew, downloading is a no! no! , with the crappy internet speed around here, it is a case of hilarious combination of fustration! How do i get my hands on these these please!
You are even based in Akwa Ibom. I'm in Akwa Ibom too. It's difficult to get these stuff over here, but you can get someone in Lagos to buy & send it to you. The latest you can grab, the better. VB6 is just damn too old and a serious waste of time.
